Adding Downton Abbey episodes to library
#1
Hello,
I've been struggling to add any "Downton Abbey" episodes to my library by using the "Scan Library" functionality and I have no clue, how to fix it. There are several other shows like "The Big Bang Theory", which are added easily. My general structure is given below, thetvdb is used as the scraper.

TV.Show/<NAME>/<SEASON.XX>/<Name>.-.SxEE.-.TITLE.FORMAT

There is no *.nfo file present in my Downton Abbey folder or any of its subfolders

media/Serien/TV.Shows/Downton.Abbey/Season.01$ ls
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xbmc xbmc 2.2G Dec 30 2012 Downton.Abbey.-.1x01.-.Episode.1.mkv
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xbmc xbmc 1.8G Dec 30 2012 Downton.Abbey.-.1x02.-.Episode.2.mkv
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xbmc xbmc 1.8G Dec 30 2012 Downton.Abbey.-.1x03.-.Episode.3.mkv
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xbmc xbmc 1.9G Dec 30 2012 Downton.Abbey.-.1x04.-.Episode.4.mkv
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xbmc xbmc 1.8G Dec 30 2012 Downton.Abbey.-.1x05.-.Episode.5.mkv
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xbmc xbmc 1.8G Dec 30 2012 Downton.Abbey.-.1x06.-.Episode.6.mkv
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xbmc xbmc 2.2G Dec 30 2012 Downton.Abbey.-.1x07.-.Episode.7.mkv

You can compare it to the structure of "The Big Bang Theory"
/media/Serien/TV.Shows/The.Big.Bang.Theory/Season.01$ ls
The.Big.Bang.Theory.-.1x01.-.Pilot.avi
The.Big.Bang.Theory.-.1x02.-.The.Big.Bran.Hypothesis.avi
The.Big.Bang.Theory.-.1x03.-.The.Fuzzy.Boots.Corollary.avi
The.Big.Bang.Theory.-.1x04.-.The.Luminous.Fish.Effect.avi
The.Big.Bang.Theory.-.1x05.-.The.Hamburger.Postulate.avi

The xbmc.log just says this:

What am I missing? Anyone got an idea how to fix or further debug it? AFAIK the episodes do not have a title, although filebot adds it if I use the matching against Thetvdb.

For what it's worth, I just created a dummy file in a similar path to yours:

... Videos\Adult TV\Downton.Abbey\Season.01\Downton.Abbey.-.1x01.-.Episode.1.mkv

... and it scanned in with no trouble at all, I can see thetvdb.com response in my log file. So your file name is valid, it must be something about either the way the source is defined or your scraper config. I certainly don't have any of the epguides.com stuff, so are you using that as a scraper?

One thought I have is that in Downton Abbey the same episode names (Episode 1, Episode 2, etc) are repeated across seasons. Try removing the episode names from the filenames and just have "S01E01", etc, as the filenames.

Thanks for the input so far. I will give it another try in the evening.

Removing "Episode.X." from the file name didn't change anything, so I went for the scraper configuration. Turns out that there wasn't a scraper selected for my TV-Shows (anymore). So I did select XEM and tvdb as source and now everything is detected and added to the library correctly. Should have thought of that myself before, nevertheless thank you for your help. :-)
